Win rum and tickets to the hottest party in town!

Mount Gay rum is back once again supporting this year’s Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week - great news for all competitors! It’s known as the finest and oldest rum in the world, first distilled in 1703 on the beautiful island of Barbados, the birthplace of rum. The rum epitomises the art of Barbadian rum making and the passion and spirit of sailors.

Iconic Red Cap anyone?

Mount Gay has always been closely linked to the world of sailing and in the old days, sailors had to bring back a barrel of Mount Gay rum to prove their passage. Of course, it’s a bit easier now to show you've taken part in one of the 120 Mount Gay-supported regattas around the world, proof is in the hat! With only 500 distributed to competitors at the Red Cap Party at Cowes this year, taking part in this competition could mean you are one of the lucky few to wear an iconic Mount Gay Red Cap from this year’s regatta!

Win tickets to Mount Gay Red Cap Party

There will be hard fought competition among the fleet each day, but once off the water, it’s time to party! Here’s your chance to win tickets to the hottest event in town – The Mount Gay Red Cap Party at Shepards Wharf on Thursday, 11 August. A case of the ‘rum that invented rum’ will also be on offer and the chance to win an iconic ‘money can’t buy’ Red Cap!

If you don’t win, tickets can be bought from the Toe in the Water Crew Bar at Shepards Wharf for £5 during the regatta.
